I prefer to listen to speakers with expression. It helps to understand the meaning (although I realize this wasn't a dictée)

On avait,alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués...

Hi,

In the sentence 'On avait alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'

Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.

Is it because plurality is implied?

Is there a lesson on this to clarify?

Thanks

Is there ever a situation where you would use tout que/qui instead of tout ce qui/que?

Title. Trying to figure out if you must have the "ce" or if there are situations where it is not present.

Subjonctif for something that happened?I had the following question in my quiz: Je ne suis pas content que Maurice ________ sa visite. I'm not happy that Maurice cancelled his visit. (HINT: Use le Subjonctif Passé de ''annuler'')" Why is the Subjonctif Passé used here when it seems that Maurice definitely cancelled the visit?

Gender neutral forms

A challenging topic I've been trying to learn about recently is finding gender neutral terms to use for non-binary people's jobs. For example, "Iel est bibliotechnician." In this case, using -an as an alternative to the masculine -en and feminine -enne.

I don't really have a question. I'm just expressing that this is a difficult aspect of this French topic!
